Nomeansno

I like to dream of an alternate universe where the long-running Vancouver post-punk trio Nomeansno  equally shaped by jazz, hardcore, and noise-rock  is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame while Bon Jovi sits out in the cold, alone and ignored. Where Wal-Mart pipes 1989s brilliant Wrong into its stores and no one is horrified by the strains of Rags and Bones or Big Dick. Where people line up outside enormodomes days ahead of time, dressed like founding brothers John and Rob Wright, to see Nomeansno in concert while Lady Gaga has trouble filling a broom closet. Itll never happen, but as Jake Barnes says at the end of Hemingways The Sun Also Rises, Isnt it pretty to think so? With Ford Pier, Ruby Doe. MICHAEL ALAN GOLDBERG
